The Plot TO Assnssinate the Gar.

LONDON, Mar. 16-On Sunday morning
the Gar had no suspicion Of any danger
whatever He had been congratulated by
Gen!. dresser upon his continued safety.
Both the Standard and Times confirm the
statement that the Car took different
route from the one announced. The story
that a bomb was thrown beneath the Cars
carriage appears to have emanated from
Vienna. The thread of the narrative is still
somewhat obscure. The st. Petersburg
papers, even of Monday, give no account of
the affair. The Car cried on hearing of
the danger which he had escaped He did
not learn the particulars until he arrived at
the Gatschina palace. The persons ar
rested in connection with the constitutional
plot Indignantly deny that they are in any
way connected with the outrage and rspudi-
ate any idea of conspiracy. Their motto
is, they say :; 1.-THE people, with the Gar or
against the Car" They have published
photographic periodical composed mainly of
extracts from the works of notable writer's
on constitutional law aud political economy.
The statutes of the society obliged all the
members to join at the signal OF their chief
in doing their utmost to subvert the exist.
ing government and establish q constilu.
tional government.
BERLIN, March 16.-The Post takes
gloomy view of the plot to assassinate the
Car and Gays: with terror and regret We
say that Europe must prepare to see Russia
adopt policy of despair, taking shape
either in fatalistic resignation or frantic ad-
ventures. The latter is the more probable.
1t will require superhuman effort on the
part of The Car to oppose the tempest of
voices calling for war as remedy for Rus

':'aE LATE terrible railroad accident in
Ma.=ac0u etts has given occasion to many
newspapers TO demand that condign punish
,aent he inflicted upon the company owning
that road. There are no people more re-
eardful Of dol!arsaad cents, land consequent
ly of possible damages, than the owners Of
railroads. Therefore it is only natural to
suppose that none could be more careful to
avoid such damages than they. Buff what
the newspapers referred to say be true, the
owners of railroads are born idiots, for they
would risk the loss of millions Of dollars in
order to save the insignificant cost of new
piece of timber. All such talk is worse than
foolish. Owing TO the construction of rail
roads there must be accidents, but if the
owners of railroads be like other sane men,
nobody could be more careful 10 prevent ac-
cideuts than they, for none knows better
than they that whether right or wrong suits
for damages always SO against them.
